Addressing it requires compassion, coordination, and unwavering commitment,” said Sheriff Carl Ritchie of Charleston County, South Carolina. “We pause to remember the lives lost to overdose, lives full of potential, a purpose, and the people who matter deeply to their loved ones and to our community.” Ritchie was speaking to an ABC News reporter last week. The department will soon launch its “Leave Behind” program, where deputies will carry harm reduction kits, including Narcan and information on treatment and support services. Deputies will be able to leave these kits on the scene of an overdose, or hand them out to community members. The program will be funded by $242,000 from the South Carolina Opioid Recovery Fund.
